I want to tell them that we are working for empowering the women and we will also give full opportunities to young men. They will be given every chance, and no effort will be spared. The participation of youth in future government jobs and industries will be ensured,” said Sharma.Sharma gave the statement while addressing a gratitude ceremony by Nari Shakti on Saturday at the chief minister’s residence for increasing the reservation of women to 50%.“Women comprise half the population and we know that without their contribution our state or country cannot be empowered.
